i like a can of malt extract , a lot of muntons nut brown but also others and some partial kits . I like to make the quick cans and sometimes I add in a wort made from a handful of black , honey and chocolate malt and usually some extra sugar for a bit more kick .
 
Extract with grains for me. I can't see myself ever going full grain, I really like the process I have right now. I can do it all inside, and it takes less time (which means more time for brewing - which means more beer)
 
I have only ever brewed all grain.

It does make me curious to try an all extract brew some time just to see if I can actually tell the difference and for knowledge of the process.
 
I'm all grain. I did a few extract batches when I started, but I didn't really enjoy the process until I went all grain. I still enjoyed the product of the extract brewing, but I enjoyed the process more with all grain. Its the same with cooking for me as well. I like my pasta much better when I make the sauce, I like it even more when I make the pasta fresh. I never had any complaints with canned pasta sauce and dry noodles, I just didn't enjoy making it.
 
My method is BIAB. Based on my limited equipment, whether it is a PM or AG depends on the volume into the fermenter and OG. Normal to high grav and 5 gals, definitely a partial mash. Normal grav. 1/2 batch or low grav 5 gals (ordinary bitter etc.) can be AG so long as the total grains are about 6lbs. About 80% is a 5 gal partial mash.
 
1st three batches were extract. As soon as I found out what BIAB was I jumped in head first and haven't looked back.
 
BIAB can be partial mash or all grain, so the results aren't exactly research worthy.
